AIREA plc ('Airea' or the 'Company')

Change of Accounting Reference Date

Airea, whose principal activity is the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of floor coverings, announces a change to its accounting reference date from 30 June to 31 December, with effect from 2017. The Board believes that a 31 December accounting year end fits better with the Company's trading cycles.

As a result of this change, Airea's next financial reporting events will be as follows:

· Unaudited interim results for the six month period to 31 December 2016, to be notified by 31 March 2017

· Unaudited interim results for the twelve month period to 30 June 2017, to be notified by 30 September 2017

· Audited results for the 18 month period from 1 July 2016 to 31 December 2017, which the Board intends to publish by 31 March 2018

Thereafter, Airea will revert to a normal biannual reporting calendar based on a 31 December year end.
